Pl tell how useful is NikonD50 with 5 mp(E mail:subachennai@yahoo.com)?
Question: asI am thinking of going for one to replace my existing Nikon film camera
Answers: It's a great camera, and it's 6MP (not 5MP)! It has plenty of features and the image quality is just as good as with color film. If you're coming from a Nikon EM (You do mean the EM, right? I don't know of an ME) You will be very pleasantly surprised by the developments since that camera came out (1979). I had an EM myself. I loved it. But I will never go back!
There are two things you should know about your old lenses though:
* only use them on the D50 if they have autofocus. If you had an EM, none of your lenses will be autofocus!
* the D50 has a 'crop factor' This means that a 50mm lens will work like a 75mm lens on the D50. In fact, every focal length will be multiplied by 1.5.

PS. regarding the first two answers you recieved:
* judgemartiniz obviously doesn't know the D50. He is also mistaken about digital image quality in general. I'll grant him however, that if you shoot mostly black & white, film is still better.
* timestamps has lost his grasp on reality completely. I'd rather have a D2X or a 5D too, but they cost $4400 and $3000. The D50 is just $550.
5 mp is less than the detail that you may be used to with film. At roughly 20mp it becomes hard to distinguish based on detail alone. Digital CCDs also have a different lattitude than film and aren't easily interchangeable. You can probably get a lot of great shots with a 5mp D50 and take pictures more frivilously than before because they'll cost very little each until you go to print them. You won't be able to get high quality archivial prints from digital as cheaply but you may not want them anyway.
I'd go with the Canon 5D, or Nikon D2X
